Having an awesome player like Kevin Durant in the team is a double-edged sword for Westbrook. It's a luxury to have him on the floor, but at the same time Kevin's star is so big that Westbrook doesn't have an opportunity to fully shine.

No disrespect to KD, but imagine he changes teams and OKC builds around Westbrook. Let's pretend he is given the absolute 'green light' to shoot, play PG, whatever.

How many points a game does he average?

What players would you surround him with? (Maybe done by trading away KD and picking up a few pieces)

He would average like 28 ppg easily but it would be on 43% shooting and OKC would enter the playoffs as like a fourth seed. This is my biggest problem with Westbrook is that he has the potential to be literally one of the greatest players of all time but you're right, he is so concerned with being the man that it sometimes ****s games up. Durant should always have more shot attempts unless he is sucking and Brook is on fire.

Players to surround him with? Big men that'd he recognize an advantage in passing to. He and Pau would actually do well together.

Westbrook has a huge advantage with Durant on the floor. Durant demands so much attention that it allows Westbrook much easier drives to the bucket. Not to mention the Thunder have many wing three-point shooters to keep an eye on (Martin/Thabo).

I think he'd still obviously be an amazing player as a first option. Dude's just nearly impossible to guard and would get other players open looks. I just think his situation in OKC is ideal for him.
